Program details

Overview

The Liberal Arts program provides a broad, non-specialist undergraduate education in the humanities, organized around three streams: literature and the arts, including theatre and architecture; history, culture, and society; and philosophy and religion. Students in the program pursue a minor in a language alongside their liberal arts coursework. Sample courses include Introduction to Modern Art, Feminism in Art and Art History, Japanese Cinema, and Introduction to East Asian Art. The program is offered within the Faculty of Arts and covers cultural works and thought from a range of societies and historical periods. Graduates pursue paths including research, editing, archival work, community work, and further graduate study in a range of humanities fields.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants apply through the Faculty of Arts; the program page sets no admission criteria of its own. McGill's admission requirements vary by educational background (Quebec CEGEP or high school, Ontario high school, other Canadian high school, U.S. high school, international curricula, home-schooling, university transfer, or mature-student status); grades equal to or above the published minimums do not guarantee admission, and the review may consider the complete academic record. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no component below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.
